Basil (Ocimum basilicum) from the Lamiaceae family is among the most important medicinal plants, and its seed fatty acid (FA) composition and quantity affects its nutritional and health values. It was hypothesized basil species and geographical properties significantly affect seed FA composition and quantity, which has not been previously investigated, to our knowledge. The collected seeds of the 18 basil populations were planted in a farmer's field, and the seed saturated (palmitic and stearic) and unsaturated (oleic, linoleic, and linolenic) FA were determined. Shiraz1 (14.7%) and Mobarakeh (5.1%) had the highest and the least rates of total FA, respectively. The populations were significantly different in terms of saturated FA ranging from 10.73% (Ardestan) to 13.51% (Bid Zard). However, the seed unsaturated FA (expect linoleic acid) were not significantly different from each other (average = 87.27%). Basil species and geographical properties significantly affected basil saturated FA and just unsaturated linoleic acid.
罗勒（Ocimum basilicum）属于唇形科，是最重要的药用植物之一，其种子的脂肪酸（FA）组成和含量影响其营养价值和健康价值。据我们所知，之前还没有人研究过罗勒的物种和地理特性是否会显著影响种子的 FA 组成和含量。我们收集了 18 个罗勒种群的种子，在农民的田地里进行种植，并测定了种子中的饱和（棕榈酸和硬脂酸）和不饱和（油酸、亚油酸和亚麻酸）脂肪酸。Shiraz1（14.7%）和 Mobarakeh（5.1%）的总 FA 含量最高和最低。不同种群之间的饱和 FA 差异显著，范围从 10.73%（Ardestan）到 13.51%（Bid Zard）。然而，种子的不饱和 FA（亚油酸除外）彼此之间没有显著差异（平均值为 87.27%）。罗勒的物种和地理特性显著影响罗勒的饱和 FA 和不饱和的亚油酸。
